I am of the opinion that Grimes should be kept as captain and Trengrove made vice captain. To put Jonesy in as captain would shatter morale in the playing group when you consider how the old leaders were handled.

Dumping our captains after one season sends a great message to the playing group... not!! Particularly so close on the heels of the dumping of J McD and Brad Green. In my opinion, and speaking as a

You haven't seen enough leadership qualities in Trengove?

All us supporters can really go by are his media interviews and his on-field performances.

Does Jack lead by example? Is he courageous? Does he speak well in front of the media?

He more than excels at all of the above.

His media performances are lack-lustre, unenthused and slow.

His on field performances leave little to be desired - let alone looked up to!

Whatever the case, maybe he can improve on his leadership down at Casey!

Seriously, just let it go about Jones or whoever else being captain. We have captains. They have picked to grow into the role over the long term.

End of discussion.

Jones would have been an excellent choice to partner either of the little Jacks in 2012, but what is done is done and he can now concentrate on sourcing the perfect wave and becoming an elite mid in 2013..

How about we just have jones made captain nextyear along side Trengove and Grimes.

I would have no problem if Mark Neeld said Jones should be Captain also.

Sydney have 2 or 3 captains and there going o.k.

As for talk of taking the title from Trengove thats just crap.

The kid is very much who the players voted to lead them and will be like a fine wine as captain.

He will just get better with age.

Lets make Jones captain next year and then strip him of it the next .

Eventually we could have the whole playing group resent us .

Because our captains this year have really lead by the front,

reflects our superb win/loss record for the year, definately dont change anything,

we are ticking along so well.

You created this thread/poll, the results conclusively show that almost 4 -1 are against the idea, so why not bow to popular opinion and concede - why put up a poll in the first place if you refuse to accept the result?

You lay the blame for only winning two games on the Captains.

Do you think the outcome would have been different if Jones was Skipper?

Your argument is flawed.

Let him focus on being the best midfielder he can be. Don't stop what's been so good.

Grimes and Trengove have done a great job imo, and should keep it for at least another year.

lol you maybe waiting a while. The 2 jacks should and will be co captains again in 2013, jones will continue to improve and be in the leadership group. Leadership is both on and off field and jones may not want even want the captaincy and just be happy to focus on improving his game even more

2 Jacks as captain, Umm, I think its fair to say Trengove wont be captain..

Good kid though, Grimes has at least flown the flag though..

But, Jones is our leader going forward, hence the thread.

I expect Neeld to appoint Jones captain for 2013.

The only change I can possibly see is Grimes being made full captain and Trenners VC, perhaps Jones Co-VC. Grimes has had an excellent second half of the year, remembering how much footy he has missed its not surprising he started slowly. I expect he'll finish 2nd to Jones in the B&F.

Grimes is a good skipper and may become a great one. He demonstrates it onfield, behind the scenes, in public at functions and with the media. Perhaps move Trengove to vice-captain but I rekon that is a backward step.

please note: the best footballer, the toughest nut, is NOT ALWAYS THE BEST CAPTAIN. Brereton, Buddha Hocking, Merv Neagle, the Scott brothers at the Lions; - the list goes on.

Jones is a great player but if you listen to him speak, or listen to other players speak about him, you get the feeling he is respected as a player more than a leader.

The difference in Jones leading on-field aswell as off:)

I rate Trengove like the rest of you, I just havent seen leadership qualities in him.

At least with Jack Grimes, if he is ever down on form - he is never down on courage,

he leads like Nathan and should be vice captain next year.

You haven't seen it?

So, the footy dept is wrong because you can't see it?

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
